EXPECT YOUR BEST

You're Not Good Enough. You're Not Smart Enough. Greatness Doesn't Live Here.

As a child and throughout his adult life, those were just a few of the negative messages and dream-crushing lies that Charlie Batch heard as he pursued his lifelong dream of becoming a Pittsburgh Steeler.

But in critical moments throughout his life, Charlie refused to buy into those lies. Instead, he expected the best from himself and those around him, and as a result, he enjoyed a successful 15-year career in the NFL, became a respected leader among players and within his community, and formed a foundation that continues to inspire financially challenged communities to expect their best.

In this emotional, funny and poignant presentation, Charlie shares his personal successes and failures both on and off the field. Above all, it provides three key strategies that anyone can use to expect their best and realize success in their professional and personal lives.
